What is Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression was created by a specialized team of engineers to meet the needs of today’s patients, offering physicians the clinical outcomes they strive for, and patients the quality of life they deserve. With our focus on innovation, we are committed to utilizing the latest cutting-edge technology to improve the quality of life for those suffering from herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and other spinal injuries.

NEW Treatment for Neck & Low Back Pain…

Spinal Decompression

GO Chiropractic offers the latest cutting edge technology in the non-surgical treatment of serious chronic neck and lower back pain and sciatica. Our commitment to offering the highest quality of care resulted in the addition of the FDA cleared Spinal Decompression technology for the treatment of back pain due to:

In the past, a patient suffering from disc problems usually was given pain medications, instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred for physical therapy, and when they weren’t progressing they were sent for spinal surgery. Conservative chiropractic care proved very helpful in many cases, yet there have been some cases when surgery seemed to be the only other option… until now.

Today, you don’t have to live with that pain anymore. Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers, Spinal Decompression was developed to effectively treat lower back pain and sciatica resulting from herniated or deteriorated discs. Spinal Decompression not only significantly reduces back pain in many patients, but also enables the majority of patients to return to more active lifestyles.

Does Spinal Decompression really work?

Spinal Decompression has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and even relapse or failed back surgery. Since its release, clinical studies have revealed an amazing success rate in treating lumbar disc related problems with Spinal Decompression.

How does it work? Spinal Decompression uses state of the art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica.No, in fact most patients fall asleep during their treatments.

Spinal Disc Decompression is a non-surgical and drug-free answer for disc related syndromes of the lumbar spine. Many people across America have found pain relief from degenerative joint disease, herniated discs, facet syndrome, bulging discs, pinched nerves and other back and spinal afflictions. Spinal Disc Decompression uses computer-aided technology to apply gentle, a non-surgical decompressive force to your spine, increasing circulation into the spinal discs and joints, thus helping to relieve the symptoms that cause pain and dysfunction. We use the exclusive DRX 9000 in our Mattoon Illinois office. The best Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy in Mattoon is available exclusively at our office.

Why Spinal Disc Decompression Works:

This FDA cleared technology relieves pain by enlarging the space between the discs. The negative pressure created by the DRX9000 releases pressure that builds on to the disc and nerves, allowing the herniated and bulging disc to eventually go back into normal position. Intervertebral disc decompression is the only treatment that is truly most effective for severe cases of herniation, degeneration, arthritis, stenosis and pressure on the nerve root. According to a clinical study performed by the Orthopedic Technological Review in 2004, said that 86% of all cases experienced spinal pain relief with disc decompression. Don’t wait until spinal surgery is your only option, call us at 217-234-2800.

What kind of results can I expect?

Many patients with lower back syndromes may experience pain relief as early as the third treatment session. Comparison of pre-treatment MRI´s with post-treatment MRI´s has shown a 50% reduction in the size and extent of herniation. In clinical studies, 86% of patients reported relief of back pain with our spinal decompression machine. Within the past five years, some private practice clinicians have reported success rates as high as 90%.

What time commitments are required by patients?

Each treatment session averages 25 to 30 minutes in duration (research has established that optimum results are achieved with sessions that incorporate 10 to 15 decompression/relaxation cycles). On average, one daily session for 20-30 treatments is necessary for patient self-healing to occur.
Herniated discs generally respond within 20 sessions, while patients with degenerated discs may need ongoing therapy at regulated intervals to remain pain free. Still other patients, due to lifestyle or occupation, may also require maintenance therapy. Patients suffering from posterior facet syndromes may be able to achieve complete remission with less than 10 sessions. Research on herniated disc treatment shows that most patients will achieve full remission from back pain after the initial treatment regimen is completed.
